I think that new cartridges are good. I think it shows us that somewhere in the depths of these big plants we so eagly send the better part of what should be a mortgage payment to, someone is putting it to use in R&D.

Great ideas, great inventions and so on, all come about as the result of experimentation, thought, and of course, failure.

What are the wildcatters going to do with this thing....they will neck it up to 405 and down to 350, someone will try a 338 and someone will opt for a 416. It will get improved, it will get blown out, it will get slowed down for the Mrs. And all the while, more people will be spending more money on more shooting things. So grows the industry...

Personally, I think its going to be a dismal failure on the American market. Some folks whoenroll inthe bigger is better for elk school will bite, and I am sure some of the large bear hunters will, other than that, it will remain an option for those of us going toAfrica. But, most of my friends whosafarimore than they workall shoot Dakotas and Purdey's and Blazer's. Anybody who is going to go a lot (save a few)is going to spend pretty big $$$ on hardware, and I don't see the Ruger fitting the "elite" or as I call it "buffy" bill, at all.

As for the PH's I know, if its not a 375 H&H, then its a 300, or a 30-06. Then again, it might be a 416 or a 458. Unless you are bringing one of those fancy Dakota calibers.....
